Understanding 3DS and SH3D file formats

The 3DS file format is a popular 3D model format used by Autodesk 3D Studio. It is widely used for storing 3D models, including information about geometry, texture, and lighting. The format is known for its simplicity and compatibility with various 3D modeling software.
